Question

My newborn has been crying and fussing while pooping today. The baby cried after pooping and then calmed down, but I noticed that the stool is much looser than it was the past two days. I don’t know what the problem is?

Answer

The possible cause is that the baby’s absorption isn’t very good. It’s recommended to give the baby more water, massage the baby’s belly in a clockwise direction, and consider giving probiotics to help adjust the intestinal absorption, or taking bifidobacteria. I hope these suggestions can help you.
